Chi Li hid in the corner of the alley with Xiao Wu on her shoulder and secretly observed them.

"Hey, why isn't he talking?" Xiao Wu asked anxiously.

Chi Li was also quite anxious, but she felt relieved that it was just as she expected.

"I knew it wouldn't work. It seems I have to think of other ways." She said thoughtfully.

Lu Sen, who had been silent for a long time, had already forgotten Chi Lijiao's words. At this moment, his mind was blank.

Looking at Xiaoxi's warm smile, which was as gentle as the spring breeze, he suddenly became a little stuttering. He mustered up the courage to speak directly: "Xiaoxi, I...I...actually, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I hope you can agree to date me."

Hearing this sudden confession, Xiaoxi covered her mouth in astonishment, staring at him with wide eyes. Under Lu Sen's nervous and expectant gaze, she finally came to her senses and whispered a thank you: "Thank you for your love for me, but I have no plans to fall in love at this stage."

Unable to conceal his inner disappointment, Lu Sen nodded slightly to show his understanding, then forced a smile and asked, "Can I be your friend?"

"Of course it's fine for us to be just ordinary friends!" Xiaoxi replied with a smile.

The haze in Lu Sen's heart immediately dissipated a lot, and he felt much more relaxed.

He floated back to his cabin, and as soon as he entered, he sat on the chair and started giggling.

"Is he poisoned?" Little Crow flapped its wings in front of Lu Sen's eyes.

Lu Sen completely ignored Xiao Wu and didn't react at all. He held his cheek with one hand and had an inexplicable smile on his face.

Chi Li sneered and said, "He has been poisoned by love."

"Xiaoxi, why are you here?" Chi Li called out in a long voice.

"Xiaoxi, you're here." Lu Sen jumped off the chair in an instant and said excitedly.

Realizing that Chi Li had played a trick on him, he sat back in his chair and complained, "Hey, stop teasing me."

"Do you think there's a chance for you and Xiaoxi?" Chi Li gently moved a small stool and sat down opposite Lu Sen, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

The erratic expression on Lu Sen's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by deep worry about the uncertainty of the future.

He frowned and said in a low voice: "I don't know, Xiaoxi...will she like someone like me?"

Chi Li seemed to see through Lu Sen's inner struggle. She gently comforted him, "Perhaps the most important thing right now isn't whether Xiaoxi likes you, but how to quickly break that abominable curse. After all, your time is probably running out, right?"

Lu Sen's heart trembled; he had almost forgotten about the curse. His expression darkened when Chi Li mentioned it, and he nodded with difficulty, "Indeed, I'm about to turn 25. If I can't break this curse before then, I'm afraid... I'll die."

"Excuse me, can I ask a question?" Little Crow, lying on the table, suddenly raised his wings and said.

Chi Li's eyes widened in surprise and she said, "Xiao Wu, why are you so polite? Did you learn it from me?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at her and asked Lu Sen: "Are both your parents...?"

"Yes, it's all because of that legendary cruel demon king. If I were to meet her, she would definitely be in trouble." Lu Sen said with clenched fists in grief and anger.

"My parents died when I was born. I only have the help from the villagers to live my current life. Xiaoxi will definitely not like me." Lu Sen's emerald green eyes were covered with a layer of moist mist, and he looked very pitiful.

This big black pot put down made Chi Li feel even more uneasy. She lowered her head and said: "So the most important thing now is that you survive, Xiao Sen, we are friends, right?"

"We? Does that count?" Lu Sen hesitated.

Chi Li clapped her hands and said, "Of course, forget it. You may not be able to tell from the outside, but I've always been a very righteous person. Now I declare that Xiao Wu and I will go through fire and water for you."

"Why do you want to stab me?" Lu Sen asked in confusion.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that we will help you break the curse." Chi Li said firmly.

"Thank you, I'm so touched." Lu Sen looked at Chi Li with moist eyes.

Chi Li felt guilty for a brief moment, just a moment.

"Actually, it's very easy to make a girl cry, and the definition of lover is very vague. Why don't we try to get Xiaoxi's tears first." Chi Li was still skeptical about curses.

"Is it easy? Could it be that... you..."

Under Lu Sen's horrified gaze, Chi Li strangely understood what he hadn't finished saying. She said speechlessly, "Please, I didn't mean to make her cry. Please don't think too much, okay? Do I look like a bad guy?"

Lu Sen's frightened expression eased. He patted his chest and said, "It was scary. I'm glad you didn't intend to hit anyone."

"Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Chi Li was very confident: "Of course it's a melodrama. Let's choose the saddest movie. Believe me, no girl can sit through the whole movie with a smile on her face."

"It seems that we can try it." Lu Sen said.

"Then Xiao Wu and I will go buy the tickets, and you go ask Xiaoxi out. Is that okay?" Chi Li stood up and said.

Lu Sen felt that he might not be able to do it, but a man would not say that he couldn't do it, so he agreed reluctantly.

The theater in this small town was tiny, and the audience inside was sparse and few in number. After a lengthy conversation with the ticket seller, Chi Li finally selected a highly acclaimed and tear-jerking film. Now, she stood confidently outside the theater, quietly awaiting the arrival of Lü Sen and Xiao Xi.

Xiao Wuli was eating popcorn on Chi Li's head. "Do you really think he can get a date with that pretty girl?"

Chi Li slapped Xiao Wu's sharp mouth away and said, "Maybe it's okay. You can't eat secretly anymore. What are you going to eat while watching the movie later?"

Xiao Wu angrily pecked at Chi Li's hair: "Did you think I didn't see you eating?"

Chi Li dodged Xiao Wu's attack while making a convincing argument: "I didn't eat it secretly. I was just trying it for Lu Sen and the others."

"Cough cough!" A rapid cough stopped the man and the bird from fighting each other.

It was Lu Sen. He looked very embarrassed, his lips were pale from pursing. Chi Li looked at the stream behind him.

Xiaoxi still has the image of a lively girl with a bright smile. She is holding the arm of a tall and handsome brown-haired boy, and the two of them are very close to each other.

Chi Li finally understood why Lu Sen was embarrassed and asked him to invite Xiaoxi. He succeeded and even invited Xiaoxi's boyfriend. Well done.
